It's like watching an episode of MTV's 'Making the Video.'

Today Robyn and La Bagatelle Magique released their "Love Is Free" video, directed by SSION (Kylie Minogue, Yeah Yeah Yeahs). Robyn and featured vocalist Maluca wear lingerie to bed as they play with tulle and have a pillow fight—a male fantasy version of a sleepover. But from there, the video instead becomes this alternate reality version of MTV's Making the Video, starting when Robyn and Maluca wander into a dressing room where a crew member colors in his face with red lipstick.

La Bagatelle Magique is Swedish pop star Robyn, keyboardist Markus Jägerstedt and producer Christian Falk. The group's mini album Love is Free, released in August, was a labor of love for a heartbreaking reason: Christian died of pancreatic cancer during its making last year. From there, Robyn and Markus decided to celebrate the last music Christian made during his life. The two of them completed Love Is Free, this ode to '90s house. Then they announced a tour, although Robyn ended up cancelling. ("I'm heartbroken and performing [the music] feels too heavy still," she says.)
